Welcome to LOL, Hanyush
I'm not sure what they are, but they are beautiful fish.

Welcome.
I would opt for Gastromyzon scitulus for the Hillstreams (would need to see dorsal and caudal fins displayed)
Picture 2 looks like a Leaffish species, possibly Nandus nandus or to my eye more likely Nandus nebulosus. Both (or any for that matter) species are capable fish eaters, usually ambush predators.
Pic 3 looks like a possible Sarcocheilichthys parvus but I am not 100% sure on that.

Welcome Hanyush,
I agree with Doc on the Loaches being the Gastromyzon scitulus.
